5.1.2.1 The CAA, or an acceptable designee, logs in CAR(s) to the B-E Corrective Action Request Log (CAR Log).

5.1.2.2 The CAR Log is located on the S: //Quality/CAR Log shared drive.

5.1.2.3 The CAA initiates the CAR, Form QC-1338, and completes the CAR Log entry by identifying the following:

5.1.2.4 The Word version of the CAR form gets saved in the associated CAR file located on the S: //Quality/CAR Log/CAR XXXX (year) directory using the CARXXXX (owner initials) format.

5.1.2.5 A PDF copy of the associated supporting documentation such as the originating IR gets stored in the same directory using the CARXXXIRXXXXX.pdf format.

5.1.2.6 A copy of the Word version of the CAR and the supporting documentation (IR, QN, QPDR, etc.) are to be sent to the responsible process owner or supplier via email. In the case of a VCAR, the email is to be sent to the buyer and the supplier where the email address is known by the CAA.

5.1.3 If a CAT involved in the CA process determines that the lack of resources is an issue, the CAT Leader is to contact the CAA for assistance. If the CAA cannot satisfactorily resolve the issue, the CAA will advise the CAB for a final resolution.

5.1.4 Any person within the Company has the right to and is encouraged to request the initiation of a CAR for any discrepancy that cannot be immediately resolved to their satisfaction or for repeated occurrences of the same non-conformance.

5.1.5 In many instances, quality problems are identified within a work area that is minor in nature and not interdepartmental or cross-functional. These quality problems do not require the generation of a CAR if resolvable by the workers or teams in the area. These corrective action efforts are outside of the formal process of this procedure and are accomplished on a direct interface basis. The person with the problem directly interacts and obtains immediate resolution. An example of this situation is the QC Form -1398, Final Inspection Hold, utilized in Q10.003 for Final Inspection.

5.1.6 CA(s) that are deemed to be vendor responsibility are to be flowed down to the vendor, as appropriate.

5.1.6.1 Supplier Non-conformances which are isolated in nature or do not rise to the level to warrant a written Corrective Action Request, may be entered into the CAR Log and identified as “NOTIFY” in the CODE. This form of CAR will be entered into the CAR Log

and immediately closed and transferred to the closed CAR tab of the CAR Log. An effectiveness review or date is not required.

5.1.6.2 The associated documentation or IR is then forwarded to the supplier directly or the buyer for transmittal to the supplier. The supplier’s quality system is then responsible to address the issue and does not require a written response.

5.1.6.3 A subsequent reoccurrence of the non-conformance may result in a CAR being initiated. This subsequent action is at the discretion of the CAA, QA Eng., HoQ or CAB.

5.2 Certified AS9100/ISO 9001 Certified Suppliers 5.2.1 For AS9100/ ISO 9001certified suppliers, the issuance of a NOTIFY

VCAR does not require a written response. This notification of a defect requires action on their part per the AS/ISO standard; therefore, a formal reply back to B-E is not required.

5.2.1.1 The NOTIFY VCAR being issued in these circumstances is to have the statement in the Immediate Corrective Action Block: “This notification is being provided to you for corrective/ preventive actions within your systems under the applicable AS9100/ ISO 9001 requirements. A reply back to B-E is not required; action on your part is required per the applicable standard as part of your certification.”

5.2.1.2 The VCAR is considered closed at B-E upon the formal notification to the supplier of the discrepancy.

5.2.1.3 VCAR(s) issued prior to this revision meeting the requirements outlined above, will be considered closed as notification of the discrepant condition has been provided to the supplier.

5.2.2 An alternate means of supplier notification may include an Inspection Report (Form BF-1064), to include “This notification is being provided to you for corrective / preventive actions within your systems under the applicable AS9100/ ISO 9001 requirements. A reply back to B-E is not required; action on your part is required per the applicable standard as part of your certification.” Form QC-1421 may be used alternatively.

5.2.3 A standard VCAR (using Form QC-1338) may be assigned to AS9100/ ISO 9001 suppliers as circumstances dictate, at the discretion of B-E Quality Engineering, Supplier Quality, Purchasing, CAT or CAB members.

5.3 Preventive Action (Enhancement Opportunities):

5.3.1 Preventive Action or Enhancement Opportunity is provided for as applicable under the CAR form block titled “Corrective/Preventive Action (Required for both Corrective and Preventive Actions):.These actions are not to correct a non-conformance, but to limit the potential for non-conformities with appropriate preventive actions.

5.3.2 Preventive Action opportunities identified may be included in the CAR Log. These opportunities, when included, will be identified with a code “EO” (Enhancement Opportunity) and handled per this procedure.

5.3.3 The corrective/preventive action data provided to the CAB by the HoQ or CAA is a potential source to review for additional preventable action opportunities.

5.3.4 Work teams addressing the prevention of non-conformance(s) within any process may initiate PAs (EOs) as a result of investigations. These teams may initiate a CAR, or solve the problem directly.

5.4 Completion Process 5.4.1 Requests for due date extension(s) may be authorized by the CAA and are

indicated by the changed date in the CAR Log and the inclusion of “YES” in the EXTEND column. The CAR form should also be updated to reflect the revised due date.

5.4.2 Complete the CAR Form

5.4.2.1 CAR(s) are Quality Records and are to be maintained per OP 16.1.

5.4.2.2 Provide objective evidence of Containment, Corrective and Preventive Action(s) (as applicable) taken; i.e., stock purges, shipping holds, routing changes, procedure changes, training records, completion dates, copy of implementation documentation or plan, name of person responsible for

5.4.2.3 Provide objective evidence to support the steps necessary to determine the root cause for complex issues or when determined as necessary by the CAA.

5.4.3 The responsible process owner or supplier also completes the Validation of Effectiveness of the Corrective Action. The process owner or supplier is responsible to identify the actions taken or to be taken to verify that the corrective actions are effective. The objective evidence of the verification is required to be provided to Breeze-Eastern when completed. If the verification is not complete when submitting the CAR response, the date and the person responsible to accomplish the verification is required.

5.5 CA/PA Review Process 5.5.1 The CAA is authorized to close CAR(s). The CAA reviews all CA/PA(s)

for completeness and determines appropriate follow up activity, if necessary.

5.5.2 The CAA approves the response based on the acceptability of the CA/PA Plan or the completed CA/PA response.

5.5.3 For CAR responses where there are pending action items, these are identified with a due date in the Pending Action Item Due and added to the CAR Log PEND ACTIONS column. The Due Date in the CAR Log is changed to match the PEND ACTIONS date. If there are no pending action items, this block may remain blank or have a response identifying completed pending action items. The hardcopy of the CAR can be updated by drawing a single line through the dates, adding the revised date, initialing, and dating the form. The hardcopy of the CAR Form is the Quality Record.

5.5.4 When the CAR response is complete, including all outstanding pending action items, the CAA signs and date the Closed Date block. This approval constitutes the acceptance of the CA/PA and its associated objective evidence for all CA/PA responses. Responses with completed Verification of Effectiveness actions are signed and dated in the

Effectiveness Review Date block. This is the final completion of the CAR.

5.5.5 For CAR responses with outstanding Verification of Effectiveness actions, the due date for completion of this action is entered in the Effectiveness Review column in the CAR Log and on the CAR Form. Upon receipt of the Verification of Effectiveness action closure, the Effectiveness Review Date block on the CAR form is signed and dated by the CAA; indicating final completion of the CAR.

5.5.6 The date of closure is entered into the DATE CLOSED column of the CAR Log.

5.5.7 The CAB has the final authority on the resolution of questioned CAR(s) determined unacceptable by the CAA.

5.5.8 The CAA forwards CAR(s) subject to customer review to the customer or through others, as appropriate. CAR (s) subject to government review get forwarded by the CAA or CAB to the resident government office directly.

5.5.9 CAR(s) not accepted by the customer are to be coordinated by the CAA with the CAT and CAB for further resolution.

5.5.10 The CAA reviews the CAR Log and CA status for trends at least annually and submits any identified trends to the HoQ for the CAB.

5.5.11 The CAA reviews the CAR Log to verify that responses are received before assigned deadlines. The initial response time is set by the CAA, normally 20 calendar days or as specified by the CAA or the customer.

5.5.12 Extensions of due dates are consistent with the complexity of the analysis of the corrective action implementation and the criticality of the problem.

5.5.13 When responses become due, it is the CAT responsibility to provide resolution or contact the CAA requesting a revised response date. The CAA will attempt to negotiate an acceptable revised response date.

5.5.13.1 In the event that the CAA, CAT and/or customer cannot agree on an acceptable date, the CAB is responsible for a final resolution.
